Details

What's wrong: The front brake line may contact the front tire. This contact could cause a hole to develop in the front brake line, allowing brake fluid to leak.

Why it matters: This condition might cause an ineffective front brake and lead to a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the front brake line and if undamaged, install a guide on the line. If the line is damaged, it will be replaced and re-routed. Either repair will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2009.
